1. HR Headline: Pay for Performance Remains Controversial
"Pay for Performance" has made inroads in business, but has
remained a hard sell in public school systems. There are some
successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to
student test scores. For example, in Minnesota, some districts
have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60%
of all pay increases on performance. In Denver, unions and
school districts designed an incentive program where teachers
receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning
national teaching certificates. However, some plans have not
worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit
pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks
to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having
teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key
factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans -
if employees don't buy into them, they will not work.
